Temperature is a measure of the thermal energy of a system...thermal energy cannot be said to be a particle, but particles may have thermal energy.

What particles or structure would not contain any quarks?

Any particle that is not a hadron does not contain quarks. Fundamental bosons and leptons are the only category of particles that do not contain quarks.


What is a measurement of an average kinetic energy of an object?

On the microscopic scale, temperature can be defined as the average energy in each degree of freedom in the particles in a system. Because temperature is a statistical property, a system must contain a few particles for the question as to its temperature to make any sense.


Do oxygen contain subatomic particles?

Any atom contain protons, neutrons and electrons.


What substances make up temperature?

None. Temperature is a term/concept that affects any substance and any atom. Temperature describes the kinetic energy (dependend on their speed) that the atoms your substance is made of have. Dependend on your substance you need different amount of heat energy to change the temperature. This property is called heat capacity.


What particles in any material is temperature the measure of?

Temperature is a measure of the average kinetic energy of particles in a material. It reflects the speed and energy with which the particles are moving.

Air particles contain oxygen.


Are there any particles in a tomato?

Of course a tomato contain many different molecules.


Which two factors affect the average kinetic energy of the particles of any type of matter?

Temperature and the mass of the particles are the two factors that affect the average kinetic energy of particles in any type of matter. As temperature increases, the average kinetic energy of particles increases as well. Additionally, particles with greater mass tend to have lower average kinetic energy at a given temperature compared to lighter particles.


Are all particles alike in hydrogen?

No. Not all hydrogen atoms (particles) are the same. Most do not contain any neutrons, but there are some that do contain 1 or even 2 neutrons. So, they are different.


What is the hotter a carpet or a tiled floor in the same temperature?

A carpet is the same temperature as a tiled floor because the carpet contains air particles and that keeps heat in and tiled flooring does not contain air particles to keep the heat from your body.


What are molecules and their subatomic particles?

Molecules contain atoms and these atoms contain subatomic particles.


Is temperature change chemical?

No. Temperature is not a change of any sort. It is a measure of the average kinetic energy of the particles in a substance.
